Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.”

Then Pau Amma thought a little and said, ‘I have made my choice. I will take all the gifts.’

Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand, with all five fingers of his right hand, and lo and behold, Best Beloved, Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe, crying in a very small voice, ‘Give me the scissors!’

And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts. I can crack shells. I can dig holes. I can climb trees. I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone. I did not know I was so important. Kun?’ (Is this right?)

Which sentence from the excerpt best demonstrates the author’s reason for writing?

“Then Pau Amma thought a little and said, ‘I have made my choice. I will take all the gifts.’”
“Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand, with all five fingers of his right hand, and lo and behold, Best Beloved, Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe, crying in a very small voice, ‘Give me the scissors!’”
“And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, ‘I can eat nuts.’”
“‘I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone.’”
Mark this and return

Answer:

“‘I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone.’”

Explanation:

The author's reason for writing can be seen in the last passage from this excerpt. The author wants the reader to know all that Pau Amma could do as a crab with the help of a scissors. After the Elder Magician turned Pau Amma to a crab, he cried and wished that a scissors be given to him.

After he was given the scissors, he realized that he could eat nuts, breathe in the air, and find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone. So, the writer wants the reader to know all that the crab could do with the aid of the scissors.

Choose ONE of the following relationship scenarios and discuss whether the relationship is healthy, unhealthy, or abusive. Be clear about which situation you are discussing. Make sure to give specific examples and use information from the websites above to support your opinion.

1. Mary and Chris have been dating for three years. When they first started dating, Mary was very sweet to Chris, but lately, they have been arguing a lot. Mary screams and pushes Chris's chest with her hand when things get really heated, but then later acts sweet again and says she's sorry. She also says if Chris didn't spend so much time texting or playing games on the phone, she wouldn't get so angry and push Chris. Mary has threatened to flush Chris's cell phone down the toilet a few times and has demanded all of Chris's social media passwords so she can access them.

2.Jajuan and Felicia have been dating a few months. Jajuan gets annoyed when Felicia wants to go out with her friends or go shopping with her sister instead of hanging out with him. (She likes to try new restaurants when she goes out to eat with her friends; Jajuan wants to eat only pizza and will not go to any other restaurant). Jajuan also calls or texts her several times when she is out, "just to say hi.” When they argue about it, Jajuan sometimes refuses to talk to Felicia for a day or two. He said she must not care about him or she'd hang out with him instead of other people.

3.Kaleb and Rochelle have been dating for a few months. He is not a huge fan of softball but goes to some of her games because he knows it is important to her. Rochelle goes to her dad's house out of town every other weekend; Kaleb misses her but uses the time to go out with friends and work on the motorcycle he's restoring. Kaleb sends her a text once or twice during those weekends (and she texts him too) but doesn't get annoyed if she doesn't get back right away. Rochelle has a toddler from a prior relationship; Kaleb understands that the ex is not with her anymore but that the sex IS a part of the child's life and respects that. He doesn't get jealous or angry if Rochelle gets texts from the ex about their child. If she can't go out because the child is ill or there's no sitter, he is disappointed but doesn't complain or resent the child.

that preyed on a type of caterpillar that in turn ate palm leaves. Well, with the wasps gone, the caterpillars hatched out with nothing to keep them in check and chewed the roofs to pieces, and that was unfortunate, we admit it, and we had a real cost overrun on replacing those roofs with tin ... but the people were happier, I think, in the long run, because let's face it, no matter how tightly you weave those palm leaves, they're just not going to keep the water out like tin. Of course, nothing's perfect, and we had a lot of complaints about the rain drumming on the panels, people unable to sleep and what-have-you. ...

Which is the best rebuttal to the following counter-argument?
Replacing the contents of school vending machines with
more healthful choices is a bad idea because it limits
students' choices, is more costly, and is one step closer to
absolute control over students' personal lives.
O A. Students often do not make the best choices about what is best
for them nutritionally, so schools have the right to fulfill that role,
no matter the cost.
O B. Poor food choices have contributed to an epidemic of preventable
diseases in our population, so schools must take steps to address
it
O C. School personnel are stand-ins for parents when their children are
at school, so schools have a responsibility to do what parents
think is best for them nutritionally,
OD. It's the responsibility of the government to ensure that children are
provided with healthy food choices; to do otherwise is to abandon

Smoking Doesn’t Just Hurt Your Health
(excerpt)

The arguments about smoking are usually centered around its effects on the health of smokers and nonsmokers alike. Entire ad campaigns have been developed around the idea of educating smokers about the risk that smoking poses to their health. Chances are you’ve encountered the photo of that diseased lung in your health class. Lawsuits against tobacco companies have gained a lot of media attention. Cities have gone so far as to ban smoking inside buildings, restaurants, and bars. But have you ever stopped to think about what smoking does to the environment?

It is easy to guess that smoking might pollute the air. Did you know that tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals? Fifty of those chemicals are known to cause cancer, and two hundred are known poisons. Think about the fact that 20 percent of Americans smoke. Can you imagine how many chemicals are released into the air each year?

Cigarettes also account for an estimated 1.7 billion pounds of trash each year. Some people say the ban on smoking indoors in some cities could contribute negatively to this statistic. Because people are smoking outside, the number of cigarette butts they leave behind may increase dramatically.

A.
Smoking pollutes the air in public places, such as buildings, restaurants, and bars.
B.
Smoking not only produces negative effects on human health but also on the environment.
C.
Smoking damages the environment more severely than it damages human health.
D.
Smoking increases water pollution when cigarette butts are dumped into waterways.
E.
Smoking harms wild animals by polluting and destroying their natural habitats.
